However, Sheriff's deputies admit they know of no confirmed instances of Jenkem use in their jurisdiction, and when WINK-TV News questioned several students at a local high school, all said they had never heard of the substance, let alone tried it. Reports from other sources confirm possible use in other jurisdictions.

  8. Salvia divinorum Salvia Diviner’s sage Maria Pastora Sage of seers Ska Maria Pastora

  9. FACT Salvia users take the drug in several forms. Fresh leaves can be wadded together and chewed, while dried leaves can be smoked. Salvia is also brewed as a tea or converted into a liquid extract then vaporized for inhalation www.salviadragon.com www.the-salvia-dream.com

  10. Drunk Tampons

  11. FACT Tampons soaked in vodka and inserted vaginally or rectally (in females and males) Results in a faster high as the unprotected mucous membranes absorb the alcohol more quickly Very popular in Europe and South America, especially Columbia. The Council has responded to an incident involving a Houston girl at a local high school.

  12. DUSTING

  13. FACT Dusting is a form of huffing or inhalant abuse, specifically the use of canned, aerosolized computer keyboard cleaner containing compressed gas

  15. FACT Buttchug, Niles, Beer Enema, Beer Funnel, The Derelicts Consumption of beer/alcohol rectally, using a funnel and tube (beer bong) to administer the alcohol as an enema. Alcohol administered as an enema has 3x the effect of alcohol taken orally. While there are YouTube videos of youth doing this, The Council is not aware of any reported incidents in Houston, Tx, to date. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

  16. Purple Stuff / Drank

  17. FACT Syrup, Sizzurp, Lean, Drank, Barre, and Purple Jelly Soft drink mixed with prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine (or OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan) Promoters developed a legal soft drink version with natural herbs that promote relaxation: Rosehips, Valerian Root, and either L-Theanine, or Melatonin. Both the legal drink or illegal version come in a variety of flavors – in the illegal version, the addition of a Jolly Rancher candy to a cup of purple drank creates a spectrum of colors, “Rainbow Colors.” Popular in rap and hip hop music.

  18. Smoking Alcohol

  19. FACT Alcohol is poured over dry ice causing an alcohol vapor Users inhale the vapor, delivering alcohol directly to the lungs Users have a more rapid and intense buzz Two Youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KscCY7gJaQI&feature=fvw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPsSTOMgwRw&feature=related

  22. Strawberry Quik

  23. FACT To combat the bitter taste of methamphetamines, some cooks are adding flavoring that gives the drug a strawberry flavor and turns its trademark crystals bright pink.

  25. FICTION

  26. Poppy Seed Tea

  27. FACT Mistakenly considered to be a “healthy” alternative for a pain reliever, sleep aid, cough suppressant, an intoxicant, and/or a mild relaxant. Poppy seeds can be purchased at grocery stores and health food stores. Poppy pods can be purchased at hobby and craft stores. Highly addictive. Potency of poppy pods varies dramatically from one variety to another and from one crop to the next, which has resulted in overdose and deaths. www.poppyseedtea.com

It is usually smoked for its cannabis-like effects which are believed to be caused by a mixture of synthetic cannabinoid drugs.
